This guesthouse on the charming island of Thinadhoo is a great place for an island holiday. Accommodation is in comfortable rooms with rustic wooden fittings and modern bathrooms, and the sea – complete with a bikini beach – is just 50m away. The owners, an Italian-Maldivian couple, ensure an Italian flavour, but English is spoken and high-quality excursions are organised daily.
Casa Barabaru is also popular with travellers wishing to fish – night fishing and deep-sea fishing are all available. Good meals and an enthusiastic team are the main highlights of a trip here, as are the nearby great beaches, which can be visited easily on day trips.
